An Uber RMT

Generic intro. Basically an uber RMT. I'm not very experienced in uber battling and would like some suggestions.

Latios @ Soul Dew
Trait: Levitate
68 HP / 188 Spe / 252 SpA
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Draco Meteor
- Grass Knot
- Hidden Power Ground
- Recover

Leading Latios. Chosen over Latias for its ability to OHKO Mewtwo and 2HKO Tyranitar. HP Ground is for Steel-types, Heatran in particular. EVs allows it to outspeed Jolly Garchomp, maxed out SpA, and the rest dumped in HP for more durability.

Groudon @ Salac Berry
Trait: Drought
12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature (+Spe, -SpA)
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Tyranitar/Metagross pseudo-counter, but most importantly, Blissey counter. A giant "screw you" to Giratina.

Mewtwo @ Life Orb
Trait: Pressure
42 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Ice Beam
- Aura Sphere

This sets up on Blissey quite nicely. After a Calm Mind, none of Blissey's special attacks breaks Mewtwo's Sub IIRC. After two Calm Minds, Aura Sphere is a 2HKO on all Blissey. However, I'm considering having this replaced, preferably with a Blissey counter.

Lugia @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
252 HP / 52 Def / 204 Spe
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Whirlwind
- Roost
- Ice Beam

Primary Groudon/Metagross/Rayquaza counter. I just used the Smogon analysis, does anyone know what the speed is for? I assume to outspeed Groudon to Roost stall.

Blissey @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
252 Def / 252 SpD / 4 HP
Calm Nature (+SpD, -Atk)
- Seismic Toss
- Charm
- Softboiled
- Thunder Wave

Charm works great, allows Blissey to take some physical hits, like MixedIalga Brick Break, for example. Seismic Toss is just more reliable than Thunder/Ice Beam or whateverm, for me.

Registeel @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature (+SpD, -SpA)
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic/Thunder Wave
- Explosion
- Ice Punch

I needed a utility Pokemon, something with overall bulk and a lot of resistances, and Registeel fit the bill perfectly.

---

I think my biggest problem is a lack of Blissey counter. Train Man suggested I replace Registeel with a strong Physical attacker like Groudon to help solve this problem. (btw, my Shoddy name is pigskin)

Something else that isn't as important but still is worth noting is a lack of status absorber.
 
Err... why? It's true. Unless there's something awkward about the phrasing... I'll go ahead and change it anyways.
Clear Body
EDIT: Ack! Beaten

This sets up on Blissey quite nicely. After a Calm Mind, none of Blissey's attacks breaks Mewtwo's Sub IIRC. After two Calm Minds, Aura Sphere is a 2HKO on all Blissey. However, I'm considering having this replaced, preferably with a Blissey counter.
Tosstosstosstoss. Some Blisseys actually still use Toss in ubers, so watch out.
 
I was under the impression that most uber Blisseys used Ice Beam/Thunder. But I probably shouldn't say that, seeing as how I faced a Seismic Toss Blissey earlier today.
 
Overall, pretty good team, unpredictable lead, Rayquaza counters, and is pretty unpredictable in uber standards. For Lugia, I would use both spreads for different circumstances, the 252, 52, 208 EV spread and the 208, 164, 134 EV spread. However, I detect some problems. It seems that you are going to have a probelm with Ghost Arceus so I would watch out for that. Second, I would give Mewtwo Leftovers if you are going to put substitute on it, however for Mewtwo, I would watch out for Toss Blissey. Basically, my biggest priority on this team would be to counter physical ghost arceus as well as get a physical sweeping counter for Blissey, such as T-tar or Metagross, since many Blisseys carry calm mind, although I would watch out for Seismic toss for Tyranitar.
 
Life Orb + Sub = A lot of residual damage. I would also consider Mixtwo with Focus Punch > Aura Sphere to take care of Blissey better.
 
Look at mewtwo's base attack power: 110. Not bad if you want to use Punch instead of Aura Sphere on Bliss. Consider shifting evs into attk for Punch.
 
Okay, I'm not getting rid of Mewtwo. It's been working amazingly for me on the uber ladder. Also, I don't want a mixed one, because I want a sweeper/revenge-killer, not a wall breaker.

In place of Arceus, I have added SubSalac Groudon. Sub/Swords Dance/Stone Edge/Earthquake has swept plenty of teams that rely on Giratina for physical walling. However, I'm considering adding something that isn't so situational, because I need a Blissey counter that doesn't fail to Toxic.

I haven't faced any Forretress yet, but I am scared of Toxic Spikes, with two sweepers that absolutely hate Poison. I could add a Forretress to Rapid Spin and Stealth Rock.

Also, on another note, my record on the uber ladder thus far is 3-0, though one game was pretty haxy in my favor (vs. someone named fm). One game ended up in Blissey vs. Blissey and Lugia, and I spent like 10 minutes wasting all of Blissey's HP until the other Blissey eventually Struggled itself to death.
